CLUVERIUS STILL HOPES.

RICHMOND, January lin one
respect, ut least, Thomas j. Gu
verius, the condemned murderer
who is to hang Friday, is the most
remarkable prisoner known in Vir-
GINA. Despite the Assurance of
counsel and friends that his days
of life Will not extend beyond this
week, he does not believe that he
will lac hanged Friday. This hope
seems TO have bnOyed him all
through his remarkable career as a
prisoner. Tie is superstitiOUs 10
this respect. He has never believed
that he would be executed. This
in measure accounts for his
strange exhibition of nerve. He
has been very credulous so far as
his case has proceeded, and each
motion of his counsel has excited
wild hopes In his breast. He be.
lieved that he would get new trial
in the Supreme Court. He be-
lieved that the Governor would
grant him a new trial, and finally
he was convinced that the legisla
ture would meet in extra session
and override the action of the
courts. Tonight he has been en-.
gagged in close conversation with
his counsel, and his more than usu-
ally excited manner leads to the be.
lief that his hopes of pardon have
been considerably revived. A del
egation of the Friends denomina.
ton called upon Governor Lee to.
day IN behalf of the prisoner. They
asked permission to pray with the
Governor, and the jolly Fitz Lee,
who has undergone some remarka-
BILE experiences in his varied career,
and especially during the progress
of this Cluverius case, was put in
the novel position of presiding at a
Tucker meeting. The Governor
aud General VIM. G. Wickham both
went down on their knees.
Cluverius has written in the al
bum of Capt. Cunningham, the re-
ligious singer, who often visits him,
the following:
Capt. Frank W. Cunningham
Let me say that no words of mine
can properly thank you for the
cheer and comfort you have brought
me in my lonely hour by your sweet
music. Whatever others may say
or think, can say to you-I am
innocent. May we all meet in
heal en-, where sorrow is not. We
shall sing on that beautiful shore,
(Signed) THos. j. CLUvERTUs.
January 10, 1887.
From the Baltimore Sun OF the 18th
The brother of Cluverius to-day
presented a petition to the Gov
ernOr asking for a respite for sixty
days. This request is based upon
the claim that some unimpOrtant
facts not heretofore brought to
light can be established in the
prisoners favor. The petition also
declares that the petitioner is in
formed that the jury on two oc
casions were furnished whiskey.-
Once two and the last time three
gallons, he says, we're sent to their
rooms at the Exchange Hotel. Gov
Lee has not intimated whether be
will grant another respite.
From the above it will be seen
that the Governor has not given
the least intimatiOn of any inten-
ton of interfering again in the
case of Cluverius, and it now seems
certain that he will pay the ex-
IRENE penalty of the law to-day.

SIG, 100000 FOR BEER
FIGURES SHOWING WHAT NEW
YORK SPENDS YEARLY FOR
THIS REFRESH1ENT.

THIS REfRESHMENI.
1t is estimated that there are
100000 barrels Of beer consumed
annually in this city. The brewers
receive IS a barrel for this beer,
less a discount to the dealers rang
| ing from 10 to 20 per cent. Sup
posing all to receive the highest
discount, which would allow for an
occasional bad debt, the receipts
OF the brewers would aggregate
| S3S, 400, 900. This beer is now sub
stantially all furnished by the mem
bers of the Brewers Exchange, the
portion supplied by the non.pool
brewers scarcely amounting to the
odd 100000.
1t is also estimated that the az.
grieved dealers number one-half OF
all in the city, and fully one-half of
the trade. Should they withdraw
their custom from the Exchange
brewers, as now seriously threaten
ed, they would thereby leave one.
half of the product OF the Exchange
breweries unsold or cause these
breweries to reduce their product
one half. Thus the movement, il
carried out, will infict q loss in
trade upon these brewers Of SO,
100000 a year. These figures will
give some idea Of the magnitude
and Importance Of the movement
now under consideration.
1t was shown at the conference
of the dealers ard non-pool brewers
on Monday that, including the non
pool brewercs Of the city proper,
and others in the vicinity, the ag-
gregate capacity is but, 10000
barrels annually. Surprising that
the strike, if inaugurated, will with
draw half the custom Of the Ex-
change brewers-that is, 5000, 900
barrels a year-there remains a de-
fciency of 1885, 600 barrels to be
supplied to the trade here by brew
ers of the West, or of Boston, Phil
adelphia, and other ncighboring
cities. This is not a large amount,
but its importation will be an item
of some importance to the railroads
and other freighters, and to that
extent will make them sympathiz-
ers with the dealers IN the strike.
The figures given above furnish
another embarrassing item. AS shown,
the wholesale cost Of the beer an
nually consumed in this city is
33S, 100000. That is what the deal
ers pay the manufacturers for it
But the price to the consumer is
vastly more. The dealer, in re-
failing his keg Of beer, expects to
more than double his money. An
expert beer ierker will get from a
key three times its cost, while ex-
ceptiOnal cases are found where
fourfold the first cost is recelyed.-
But allowing the sale by the glass
to be merely double the cost by the
key or barrel, and it is seen that
the beer drinkers OF New York pay
/ S76,S00, 600 annually for this single
article of refreshment.-N. Y. SIM.

There are fifteen cities on the
coast with an aggregate population
of nearly five and a quarter million
about an eleventh of our total
population, with a property valua-
ton of over four thousand millions,
and an annual product in manu-
features alone of more than one
thousand million dollars. They
are without protection from a hos
tile fleet, and could be destroyed
by any one of the powers of Eu-
rope, before adequate defence could
be made. This fact of itself ought

p. Mas the twenty.seven men
werc leaving the pier Gen. Wick
ham met them at the door and sue.
ceeded in persuading them to re.
turn to work. Over two hundred
hands are now engaged loading
three steamers for Europe.
At half.past IL o'clock Gen.
Wickham had a talk with the
strkers-about 100-who had as
sembled between the elevator and
the pier. The General told them
that they had stopped work with
out a cause aud without notice,
causing a blockade of the track by
cars and impeding the business Of
the company. He told them that
all the stevedOres, with few excep-
tions, would be allowed to 20 to
work at once if they wished to.
There was plenty of work for them
and the new hands put on this
morning.
Strikers in the crowd; General
we will not 90 to work one by one.
There are three men, who. if they
say go to work, we will go IN a
body.
Gen. Wickham, in a positive
manner: There are no three men
in the United States who can put
men to work on that pier without
my consent. You ought to have
manhood enough not to permit any
three men in the United States to
influence you to stop work, and
thus starve not only yourselves but
your wives and children.
He said that tonight any man
who had stopped work wonld be
paid every dollar due and all could
go to work tomorrow morning. If
they did not go to work they would
be made to leave the premises.
The Knights Of Labor Assembly
is now in session. Your CORES
pOndent was refused admittance.
The arbitration committee desires
a conference with Gen. Wlckham,
but he positively refuses to arbi-
trate. Some of the negroes are
very insolent, and intimate blood
shed tonight. Members Of the
police force say that most of them
arc armed with revOlvers. The
new hands will be under the pro-
lection of the military tonight.
Gen. Anderson and staff and the
white military are quartered on the
steamer John Romer. The State
Guard are comfortably quartered
